welcome to the programme. liverpool are now eight points clear of manchester city at the top of the premier league after coming from behind to beat southampton 3—2 at st mary's. russell martin's side may be in trouble, with just one league win so far this season — but they didn't make it easy for liverpool, who're riding high, with their manager arne slot only five months into his reign. nick parrot reports. with liverpool having made the best start in their history and southampton their worst many might have expected a comfortable afternoon for the league leaders. it took like that would be the case when this clearance was pounced on by dominic sobers life but the hungarian's first league goal since january wasn't enough to dent southampton ambitions. they would have got an immediate intervention but for the keeper. liverpool have been much tighter at the back under new boss on a slot but they had

to resort to foul means here. adam armstrong was perhaps fortunate to get a second chance. there was no luck about their second as mattias fernandez claimed his first league goal since joining southampton in the summer. an upset looked on the cards until mo salah came to the rescue with a little help from goalkeeper alex mccarthy. injured goalkeeper aaron ramsdale perhaps not the only one wishing he was on the pitch. with their tails up liverpool continued to push up and eventually forced another mistake. once again the responsibility fell to tsonga and the egyptian delivered liverpool's tenth league win of the season. they might have wobbled a bit on the south coast but for now they remain on course. so arne slot and liverpool's great form continues, but severe problems for russell martin's side, who are struggling to get points. arne slot says, despite the scoreline, southampton played well. it wasn't a surprise for us, because we saw how they played against city, how they played against arsenal, they played

against newcastle in away games, let alone if they play a home game against a top team. so it wasn't a surprise that they made it difficult for us, but we dominated the complete game. but because of we went down after an hour 2—1, it made it really difficult for us. we we re really we were really competitive as we have — we were really competitive as we have been against a lot of top—quality opposition this season, _ top—quality opposition this season, but we don't come away with anything because we concede some bad bills. we had some _ concede some bad bills. we had some brilliant moment ourselves. we played some really— ourselves. we played some really good stuff and stuck at it the — really good stuff and stuck at it the whole way through. we tried — it the whole way through. we tried to — it the whole way through. we tried to be aggressive with the ball. _ tried to be aggressive with the ball, changed shape a little bit. — ball, changed shape a little bit. but _ ball, changed shape a little bit, but i'm disappointed with the quality of the goals we conceded. it was his first game in charge of manchester united after a great deal of fanfare — so there was bound to be some expectation of an impact from new head coach ruben amorim. well, it wasn't quite the match fans were expecting. united did go ahead early on against ipswich, but could only manage a draw at portman road. adam cottier reports.

a new manager, a push of the reset button for manchester united. more than three weeks on from the confirmation of his appointment, ruben amorim saw his team make an electric start at portman road, playing as predicted with wingbacks and three central defenders, it was one of those wingbacks who provided the spark as ahmad raced forward and marcus rashford starting in a central striking role nudged in after just 81 seconds. but the early vigour didn't last and ipswich asserted themselves in response stop andre onana's superbly denied liam delap but was helpless to stop a marie hutcheson's deflected shot. as the home team chasing back—to—back victories drew level before half—time. onana kept out delap again early in the second half with ruben amorim incessantly prowling the touchline and what had become an uncomfortable premier league initiation. as players often lacked conviction. bruno fernandez came close with the free kick but united had to

settle for a point, still in the bottom half of the premier league table. let's hear what ruben amorim had to say about his first game in charge at manchester united — here's what he said a little earlier. not a good result but it is a tough league. with high intensity. but we start very well and we should have more goals after the first goal, but we are learning in competition, so it was really hard for them. they were thinking during all the game what to do. it was not fluid and it is normal with two trainings but they tried. i just asked to try, to run, they try to do it, we will see in future. leicester have sacked their manager steve cooper afterjust five months in charge. cooper leaves with immediate effect, following leicester's 2—1 loss to chelsea yesterday. the club are now 16th in the premier league table. in a statement leicester thanked cooper and his backroom

staff for their contribution. first—team coach ben dawson will take interim charge for their next game against brentford next weekend. leicester say they've already begun the process of appointing a new manager. leeds united have gone top of the championship for the first time this season after a dramatic 11—3 injury—time away win at swansea city. leeds had already come from behind to lead 3—2, when swansea equalised with a minute of normal time to go, through florian bianchini. that would have left leeds third in the table, but there were still six minutes of injury time to be played, and leeds scored the winner in the first of them. wilfried gnonto with a calm finish, which puts his team top of the table, ahead of sunderland and sheffield united on goal difference. in the women's super league, chelsea beat manchester united in what was the only wsl game this week. they won 1—0 with a penalty from guro reiten in the first half after she was brought down

by the united goalkeeper. and she put it safely into the bottom left corner from the spot. with eight wins from eight, chelsea have now moved five points clear of manchester city at the top of the table. there were also women's fa cup second round games today along with a league cup match — for all the results just go to our website. glasgow city are still one point clear of rangers at the top of the scottish women's premier league after thrashing spartans 6—0. celtic have moved up to fourth in the table after coming from a goal down to beat montrose 5—1 at new douglas park. saoirse noonan scored a hat—trick. they're still five points off the top. hibernian were leapfrogged by celtic in the table, because they were held to a one—all draw at home to partick thistle. elsewhere there were wins for rangers, hearts and motherwell.

rugby union now, and — it had the potential to be a banana skin. england facing japan after losing all of their autumn internationals previously — and with former head coach eddiejones retuning to twickenham with a point to prove. however, it was an easy win for england, hammering japan 59—14. it was a very different scenario at murrayfield as scotland became the only northern hemisphere side to beat australia this series. andy swiss was watching. you could hear the expectation. could scotland end on a high against an inform australia? murrayfield hoped, and it was certainly rewarded. tuiplotu was born in australia but has a scottish grandmother, and there she was to celebrate as he bulldozed scotland

into a 7—3 lead at the break. after that, they were soon racing clear thanks to one of rugby's most ruthless finishers... the dazzling van der merwe once again unstoppable, as indeed wasjosh bayliss, who had no right to score from there... oh, they have done it! yet somehow he did. if that was good, the hosts saved their best to last as finn russell rounded things off in style. a statement win for scotland, and for murrayfield an afternoon to remember. at twickenham england were looking for their first win of the autumn against their former head coach. eddiejones�*s japan head coach. eddie jones�*s japan have largely struggled recently and they were seen struggling against is a ben earl set the hosts on their way. it was the first of five first—half tries for england. perhaps the pick of them from olley sleightholme as they led 35—7 at half—time.

and after it, a moment of magic. just watch this. george furbank with a try but it was all about that pass. tommy freeman's trickery bringing twickenham to its feet. and tom roebuck applied the final gloss on a 59—14 victory. still plenty to work on but england have ended their losing streak in emphatic fashion. you can read more you can read more on you can read more on the bbc sport website. let's take a quick look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. a fortuitous bounce gave beth wilcock the chance to open the scoring for harlequins women against saracens this afternoon. in a blustery london derby, wilcock powered over for another during the second half, as quins managed to hold off a fightback from the hosts to edge the game 15—111. great britain have come second in the first event of the sail gp season, after being illegally cut off in the final turn by the united states.

the czech republic in 2013. you have different pressure and different weight of having italy on your shoulders, but we all handle it really well. if it would be not important i would not be here, so for me it meant so much. for me it was also sharing this moment, special with this group, it meant so much for me, i am very happy and an honour to be part of this. it may not have come as a surprise, but for the fourth consecutive time, max verstappen is the formula one drivers�* champion. all he had to do was keep his challenger lando norris behind him in las vegas — and he managed to do just that. the red bull driver finished in fifth place, with norris in sixth. verstappen becomes just the sixth driver in history to win four world titles. patrick geary reports.

once again there is no stopping verstappen. max on top of the world for the fourth time in a row. even in las vegas he had no need to gamble. fifth on the grid, such was his lead in the standings he could allow others to do the racing. british driver george russell led from the off. verstappen never challenge. hisjob was the off. verstappen never challenge. his job was to keep title rival lando norris behind him even if the likes of lewis hamilton sped past. hamilton would end up second but even when surrounded by the bright red of ferrari, verstappen stayed cool on these neon streets. at red bull there has been discord and disruption. it hasn't mattered. and so while russell was the winner, 16.5 seconds later verstappen was the champion.— the champion. quieter times, thank you _ the champion. quieter times, thank you so _ the champion. quieter times, thank you so much. _ the champion. quieter times, thank you so much. there - the champion. quieter times, thank you so much. there is l the champion. quieter times, j thank you so much. there is a lot of pressure on everyone to deliver and do theirjob. their ways want to win and do the best they can and when you have
